Chef Seeger drops by Doty’s new place
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Seeger’s chef/owner Guenter Seeger, dressed in a black leather jacket and matching pants, with a red-haired female companion in a red velvet dress, was spied dining at the newly opened Shaun’s in Inman Park late Saturday night. Nearby, Atlanta Peach editor Elizabeth Schulte Roth was celebrating her birthday with her husband and parents. Q100’s Jeff and Jessica Dauler were also spotted in the crowded eatery dining with Midtown Twelve florist owner John McDonald and his partner.
Sick bay
Label this item the Chunder From Down Under: Peachtree Road resident Elton John left the stage briefly during a weekend concert in Brisbane after being struck by a bout of nausea.
John left the stage without a word about two hours into his Sunday concert. He was gone for about five minutes, the Australian Associated Press reported Monday.
When he returned, the 59-year-old pop star used an Australian colloquialism to explain that he had left the stage to vomit. “I thought I’d better chunder in the toilet [rather] than all over the front row,” he was quoted as saying.
Apparently feeling better, John closed the show about 45 minutes later.
‘Best and Brightest’ (but also on hold)
Those pesky advance deadlines for magazines caught Esquire up a little short this month. In the men’s mag’s “Best and Brightest” issue (featuring cover boy George Clooney), Atlantan Ryan Gravel is among those profiled. The urban renewal pioneer first came up with a plan for overhauling the city’s 22-mile Beltline railroad lines for a 1999 Georgia Tech graduate thesis. Esquire reports: “Five years of local support and city studies have turned Gravel’s beltline into one of the most ambitious modern ideas for the refurbishing of an American city on the verge of actually happening.” Alas, in recent weeks, pivotal Beltline developer Wayne Mason pulled out of the deal, and earlier this month, the Atlanta City Council voted to temporarily put the project on hold.
